Hi guys ! How are you ? Long time no see ! I hope you enjoyed reading chapter, see you in the next one :)
Rafael's thoughts after they were caught by the police The return of the cargo was only the tip of the iceberg, I had no idea that something could happen after that. How couldn't I see this coming? Someone knew about the guns, he or she knew where it would be delivered, then that person kindly returned them a few days later to be delivered to Don Calderon and for me to be arrested by the police. Whoever did this was very well informed, either there's a mole among my men or among Don Calderon's. However, none of my men knew the meeting place between Don Calderon and me. So the mole must be among Don Calderon's men. In any case one thing is sure, the person who dared to attack me will pay for it with his life. I will flush him out myself if necessary and this person will die by my hands in excruciating pain because no one, I mean no one, attacks Rafael Herrera and gets away with it. Rafael is very influential and had friends in very high places all over the government, because either
Earlier this morning, Ashley's phone rang as she was still asleep. " Hello", she took the call with a sleepy voice. " Hi ! Are you Ms. Ashley Conrad ?", a male voice replied behind the phone. " Yes... Ashley speaking", Ashley said still with a sleepy voice. " Well, I'm officer Marshall. We need you to come to the police station right away. Your father, Paul Conrad, had been arrested last night and he has very serious injuries", replied the male voice. " What ?! ", Ashley said, surprised and almost jumped from her bed. " Yes, Ms. Conrad, he had been arrested and asked to see you here at the police station and that it was very urgent", the officer told her. Ashley sighed and replied : " Alright, I'll come right away officer" and the call ended. Ashley hurried to change into a proper outfit as she was still in her pajamas and then immediately left her apartment. It wasn't the first time that Ashley's father was arrested and that Ashley had to get him out of jail. Although, it wa
Somewhere in a dreadful basement…A few months ago I was living a very mundane life: I was in my last year of college, I had an awesome best friend Kamila Griffith and the only things I was concerned about were if I was going to pay my rent on time, have I finished my economics homework ? But now all these problems seem so insignificant to me it's true right now I'm tied in the basement of a building I don't know where watching the love of my life being slaughtered by dozens of armed men without being able to do anything to help him and all because of me. If only I weren't so stubborn and didn't always do what I wanted, maybe we wouldn't be there.But wait ! Our story began six months ago, when I was still just an ordinary student with completely ordinary problems."A
Ashley is having breakfast when the door of her apartment opened abruptly. "Good morning girl", Kamila shouted. "Oh Gosh Kami !", Ashley said, shocked. "I almost had a heart attack. Please next time you want to come at my place, just remember to knock on the door like everyone else", Ashley then said. "Yes but you know I'm not like everyone.Oh ! And here is your mail, I watched them a little and there are especially letters with red brands on. You're welcome", Kamila replied. "No ! No ! What have you done ?", shouted Ashley. "Oh! Come on ! I didn't even open them", said Kamila. "No, that's not that. It's just that I said to my landlord that I lost the key of my mailbox to avoid my bills", replied Ashley. "And...", said Kamila. "And now since you took my mail I have to pay them now when I only get my salary within 2 weeks", Ashley told her as she is about to cry. "Ah ! Now I see. Ash, you know I'll always be there or you, huh ? If you want to, I can help you to pay them and yo
The next morning "Kami ! Kami ! I have to tell you something that happened to me last night so come here right now", said Ashley, very excited, when she phoned her friend Kamila. "What the h*ll Ash ? It's six in the morning. Why are you calling me so early ?", Kamila said with a sleepy voice. "Oh come on Kami ! I have to tell you something very very weird so come to place right now", Ashley told her. "But can't you just tell it to me on the phone ?", Kamila asked still with a sleepy voice. "You wouldn't believe me if I tell it to you on the phone", Ashley answered. "Fine ! Fine ! I'm on my way", Kamila said, tiredly. Kamila lives in a luxurious apartment not far from Ashley's appartment and it's also very close to campus. A few minutes later Kamila knocks at Ashley's door "Finally you're here. Come in", Ashley said, while pulling Kamila to enter inside her appartment. "So now you better tell me what is that thing that you have to tell me and that you couldn't tell on the pho
"Here is your black coffee and your croissant Sir", Ashley said and Rafael is still staring at her which made tremble and spilled a little hot coffee on her hand. "Ouch", Ashley said. Rafael took immediately the coffee form Ashley's hand and said :"Are you ok ?" "Yeah, I'm fine. It happens to me almost all the time", Ashley said and then looked at her hand. But then Rafael noticed that her hand was a little bit red. "Are you sure you are ok ?", Rafael asked. "Yes, Sir. I'm fine don't worry", Ashley replied and then hide her hand. "Then let me see your hand if you are really alright", Rafael asked. "I'm alright Sir you don't need to worry for me", Ashley answered him but suddenly Rafael takes her hand which was burned by the hot coffee and then he blew on it. Ashley was like frozen at that moment while looking at Rafael who is blowing on her hand. "It's not serious but you'll have to put ice on it", Rafael said. "Yeah, sure. Thank you Sir", Ashley said, trying to free her han
Several days went after Ashley and Rafael's meeting. "What I should do with that now", Ashley said to herself while holding Rafael's card with his number on it. "Should I call him ? No, of course not it's not. If I call him now, what could I tell him, huh :" Hi Rafael, it's the girl that burned her hand at the coffee the other day". Pathetic Ash, very pathetic. And if I don't call him, I won't see him again as he doesn’t even have my phone number", Ashley said to herself. "Ash, are you ready ? You better be ready because you are the only one that we are waiting for", Kamila shouted while looking for Ashley everywhere in her appartment. "Yeah ! Yeah ! I'm ready", Ashley replied. "Oh ! What are you wearing ? No way you are going there dressed like that", Kamila said. "What's wrong with my clothes ?", Ashley asked while looking at herself. "Ashley, sweetie, we're going to a nightclub and that dress isn't short enough. And these shoes, just horrible. Please take that off immediately
On my way to exit from the nightclub, I passed in front of the V.I.P corner and then someone just grabbed me by the waist just behind me and then said : "wanna dance with me baby ?". This man was stinking alcohol which was just disgusting. "No, thank you", I replied to him while trying to free myself but then he pulled me closer and tight me very hard against him and said : "I think you didn't understand very well what I just said. I want you to dance with me and I don't accept a no as answer". "And I said that I don't want to dance with you so now let go of me", I told him and then I still tried to free myself but I have just hit him with my elbow. "Ouch !! You punctured me an eye. You'll pay for that b*tch", the man said angrily but then I felt that he loosened his grip on me so I took the opportunity to free myself and then I ran as fast as I can but it's wasn't easy as the nightclub was crowded. And when I turned around just one second

As soon as the two men shook hands, Ryan shouted from behind them : " everyone froze now !!! '' while pointing his gun on them. " Rafael Herrera , you are under arrest " , Ryan shouted again as many other police officers, armed to the teeth , appeared little by little , encircling Rafael, Don Calderòn and his men. Earlier that day , at the police headquarters Ryan spent most of his day analyzing again and again the photos of the envelope he received and when he was about to give up, another envelope had been reached. He opened it quickly, once again the envelope contained many photos but this time they was where we saw Rafael and his men moving the crates containing the weapons he had seen before on the first pictures. " Bingo! I hold you now Rafael Herrera “By shaking the envelope again, he found a small note with an address this time. But it's out of town?! " , Ryan said to himself. A few minutes later, Ryan received a call from an unknown number. " Bold speaking ! " , he sai
Rafael and Carlos hurried to join Diego and Rafael's other men on the docks after Rafael had received this weird call from them. " Rafael ?! Finally you are here . Come on, you really need to see that " , Diego said as he dragged both Rafael and Carlos to follow him. Rafael, shocked by what he was seeing, completely froze once arrived there and as for Carlos, he only said : " what the h*ll is that ? " " Can someone tell me what the f*ck is that thing doing here ? How is this even possible ? " , Rafael said a few minutes later. " We don't know Capo. We only found it once we arrived here " , one of Rafael's men explained. " Have you checked what was in these containers ? " , Rafael asked. " Not yet, Capo. I specifically ordered everyone to touch anything before you see that " , Diego answered. " Alright ! If this is really what I think, then, open these damn containers so we can see what is in there and use gloves when you open them to avoid letting your fingerprints on them " , R
Ashley has spent the whole night at Kamila's apartment as Kamila was feeling very upset after she had surprised her father having an affair with an intern in his company. It was not the first time that had happened, Kamila's father had an affair with several other women before. Kamila had surprised him the first time when she was 12 years old, her father had promised her not to have an affair with another woman again if she did not talk to her mother about it but of course Kamila's mother already knew about his affair. Later, Kamila surprised him again with another woman when she was a second year student at Wrentford. Her father once again had promised her to end his affair immediately and that he won't start again and Kamila thought that he had really stopped until a few days ago, after she argued with Ashley, Kamila had surprised her father with an i
Days went by as Ashley was still angry against Kamila and that they didn't talk to each other yet. It was not the first time that Kamila talked to Ashley like that, she always likes to remind her that they don't have the same backgrounds and sometimes Ashley asked herself why is she still hanging out with her. As Ashley was finishing her shift at Jo's restaurant, Brad came into the restaurant, sat at a table and read the menu. Noticing him, Ashley didn't bother to come towards him as she already knew why he was here and continued to wipe the table. " Ashley ?! We have a customer at table four. Go take his orders ", Jo told Ashley. " Uh... Actually, Jo, do you mind if someone else takes his orders, I'm not really in the mood to talk to him ", she replied. " Nooo
" Thank you so much Rafael for tonight, I had a great evening ", Ashley told him. " Despite the fact that you ate snails tonight ", Rafael said, chuckling. " Yeah, despite that. I had a great time with you tonight. Next time, I'll let you choose them for me", she said and then laughed. " Next time ?!", Rafael asked while looking at Ashley. " Yeah, I mean ... if there is a next time ... like if you still want to hang out with me next time not tomorrow but next time next time", Ashley stammered. " Sure ! I had a great time tonight with you and I think we should totally hang out again. Just tell me when you are free ", Rafael told her. " Alright ! Good night Rafael !", As
Ashley's day took place as usual: she worked at the cafe before going to her classes and worked at Jo's restaurant after the end of her classes. It was now time for her to prepare for dinner with Rafael. Obviously, she is very nervous about the accessories of this dinner since it has been now that she does not come out of a man.She hesitated a long time to choose what outfit she was going to wear, but she finally decided to wear a blush pink A-line short homecoming dress with a V-neck and with a square toe ankle strap, chunky heel sandals and a mini light pink color bag. She then put some makeup on her eyelids, not too much but just enough to highlight her eyes and then put a fruity lipstick on her lips.Then someone knocked on the door" Yeah, I'm coming ", Ashley shouted as she hurried to open the door.
" Now let me go ", Ashley said. " Are you sure that's what you want ? ", Rafael asked with a seductive voice. " Wh...at ?! ", she replied, confused. " Do you really want me to let you go ? ", he asked again. " Yeah... I mean yeah I want you to let me go ", Ashley stuttered. " Alright then. I have something to take care of and then I'll get you home ", Rafael said, moving away from Ashley. " Ok, no problem ", she told him and then they left the room. Rafael returned to the conference room and Ashley went in the kitchen in hope to find the lady who let her go the other day. " May I he
